Tonight is the second episode of season 12 and I'm here to live blog it as it happens, taking pictures of the screen when necessary. I update at each commercial break. Here we go!
"I need to sew my hookers" - Sandro
A big truck pulls up with a guard. I know from the preview last week that the challenge involves expensive diamonds. Each model will have a necklace, bracelet, etc. and the designers must design something that goes with/shows off the jewels. The guards have guns. Heidi comes out with the button bag and Kate hopes its not teams.
Alexander: "Wow. Wow."
The jewels are worth over $30 million. The look they must create is glamorous. Timothy doesn't like this challenge. The designers get to choose the model they want, also choosing the diamonds that come with them. I can't tell how many of them stuck with the model they had before.
They will finally get to try out the new Go-Bank account (they get $4,000 for the whole season) and we will finally get to see Swatch at Mood! They only get one day to make this evening gown.
Timothy wants to do something called trash for treasure.
The girl with the tattoos is doing a strapless dress which sounds like a good plan to me.
Mood! Someone whose name I don't remember goes for silk prints while Timothy goes to the garbage. I'm already getting tired of typing things about Timothy.
I hate shin length dresses. Yuck. The Russian is doing one.

| "Bye Swatch!" |
Kate is doing some kind of costume. Sandro and Ken are fighting in the sewing room. Oh, Ken pulled out, "Speak correct English." Not cool.
COMMERCIAL #1
Sue has some liquid silver-looking fabric. Bradon has some cool silver curtain fabrics.
COMMERCIAL #2
Tim gives Kahindo some help by suggesting she layer her print with a sheer green fabric for her African-inspired look.
Timothy's look is a mess and Tim says it looks like a ticket home.
Alexander Pope is giving Kate crap for not being original. His name isn't even original. I still like him. He's like, "Omigod, I have to go drape a skirt in like twenty minutes!"
Sue has a problem with her sewing machine and is freaking out.
COMMERCIAL #3
2 hours to runway and Sandro is running around shouting about sewing hookers.
Tattoo's dress looks bad and it looks even worse next to Kate's look which has the same kind of top, but better.
In the make-up room, they have found L'oreal's sustainable line of makeup which should make Timothy's model pretty happy.
A designer whose name I don't know is putting a matching headband on her model. Sandro is putting a bra on his head...
Sandro is upset because no one will help him work the steamer, so he calls on a crew member to help him, but the crew member doesn't help, so Sandro starts crying.
COMMERCIAL #4
On the runway the 15 designers look nervous. Heidi's hair looks super be beachy cute.
First up is Dom's look! She's the one whose name I keep forgetting who put a headband on her model.

Justin made a black dress. Luckily, it is not a hot mess or he would be in the bottom for being so boring. His model's hairnet hair is crazy.
Ken's green peplum dress is boring and the top is ill-fitting.
Kahindo's camp-looking cocktail dress is kinda cute.
I don't like how short Alexandria's dress is in the front - is this a fashion trend I don't know about? It looks like a mistake to me.
The proportions are off on Miranda's ugly blue top/skirt.

Alexander's dress has wow. I'm glad he didn't put the sleeves up.

Kate's Marie Antoinette look is pretty good. The styling is also spot on.

Timothy should go home, but there are a lot of messy looks tonight...
Karen's blue silk dress fits weird at the armpits. Is that on purpose?
Jeremy's dress has a lot of drama - he is safe at least.
Sandro's model can barely walk in that tight dress thing.
Helen (that's tattoo's name) is crying - Heidi even asks if Tim wants to go and talk to her! (She's not supposed to give away that the dress is hers). She's shaking and Sandro is trying to comfort her awkwardly as Tim approaches - in front of everyone.
COMMERCIAL #5
Tim whispers something to her, then says "We're going to carry on, everyone." Tim is so great. I love him. The dress doesn't look good, but it's not the worst.
I don't like how Sue's dress is a halter and the necklace has to go over parts of it. The two don't look like they belong together. She thinks she "definitely nailed it" however.
Bradon's dress is cute, but I'm not crazy about the black trim and I don't like the little jacket thing.
Heidi calls Dom, Sandro, Timothy, Kahindo, Helen, and Kate forward - they are the top and bottom six. Obviously Kate and Kahindo are in the top, with... Dom, I guess. Kate's dress is pretty, but no one thinks it is very original.
Everyone like's Dom's look, but not the headband (called it).
Timothy's dress has a racerback in the front and no one cares for it much, but they don't seem to really hate it.
Kate's model is so tall! The guest judge (a costume designer) likes it. Everyone likes the gray color.
Sandro's look is overdone again after they told them not to last week, but Heidi likes it. Posen thinks it is a little trashy since the sides are sheer.
Kahindo's dress is maybe in the bottom? Heidi thinks it is too simple/boring/off-the-rack. Sad. No one thinks it showcases the necklace. So... maybe Helen is going home?
Helen explains that she never made a dress with cups before. Helen says "go big or go home." Up close, this dress really is worse than Timothy's. Helen's crying again because of how much she loves couture - she's even making Sandro tear up, but Nina is not going for it.
Maybe Tim will use the Tim Gunn save this early to save Helen?
Back stage, Alexandria is mean to Timothy and Sandro is telling him to just shut up in front of the judges. According to the online-voting thing, viewers think Timothy is going home.
Heidi calles Nina "Mean-a." :)
Tim gets to speak on Kahindo's behalf and explains that he advised her to put the layer over the print.
Tim explains that Timothy's dress is 1000 times better than his first attempt.
LAST COMMERCIAL
Kate is the winner and Kahindo is out.
See you next week!
